Port Stanley is now into its sixth year of celebrating Canada Day in a big way -
after all, what better place can you think of to celebrate our national day than
on the prettiest beach on the north shore of Lake Erie, in the beautiful summer
sunshine!
This year we're doing it with a two-day festival featuring a dazzling Canada Day
fireworks display on main beach at 10:00 p.m. brought to you through the generous
support of Canadian Heritage, live music on two stages, live theatre, a Canada Day
Veterans March and garden party, a Boat Parade, a Kid's Treasure Hunt, face painting,
pleine air artists, contests, merchant specials and so much more, to make this the
most memorable weekend of your summer.
New this year is Farmtown Canada - a petting zoo from the Aylmer area that
will be set up on the west pier and also offering destination carriage rides (ie:
a horse-drawn taxi).
Want to try something really fun? We're holding a FREE Laughter Yoga session on
Sunday afternoon, right downtown in cenotaph park in front of the Legion; followed
by ZUMBA ~ a Latin dance class!
Don't miss the Port Stanley Volunteer Fire Fighters Association Smoke on the Water
3 antique car, truck, motorcycle and fire apparatus show on Saturday ~ on
the East Pier, right next to the harbour!
There is also a scrumptious fish fry at the Legion on Saturday June 30th from 4
- 6 p.m. and a Strawberry Social supper at the Port Stanley United Church from 5
- 7 p.m. on July 1st.
